How did Terry come into contact with Charles Manson?

Terry had a brief association with killer and cult leader Charles Manson.

He had been introduced to Manson and his “family” through Beach Boy Dennis Wilson. For a while Terry was interested in recording Manson’s songs as well as making a film about the “family” and their hippy commune lifestyle.

Manson auditioned for Terry but he ultimately declined to sign him.

Talk of making a documentary about Manson’s music continued but the project was dropped after he saw Manson become caught up in a fight with a drunk stuntman at Spahn Ranch.

Both Terry and Wilson then severed ties with Manson.

He had a son called Ryan with his second wife Jacqueline Carlin.

Terry died of melanoma, aged 62, in November 2004.
